Before ADSL was available and affordable, I did have ISDN at my place. It was charged by the minute, so I could not leave the data always on. I set up an always on Linux box at my apartment with a PCI ISDN adapter. A voice mail application answered calls on one of the 4 ISDN phone numbers.

I modified this voice mail application to accept a PIN code to open PPP on the other B-channel to the ISP and read back the dynamic assigned IP on the phone. This was something I could not do with a single analog phone line and a modem.

This was not the reason to get the ISDN, but this was the first time I could remotely access my systems at home at will. Not that I needed to that much, but I could.

If this is indeed the case, shouldn't there be an influx of skilled professional and entrepreneur immigrants into all of these nordic welfare states?

Something doesn't quite add up, as there's appears to be a constant shortage of such talent.

Flip side of the welfare state is the heavy tax burden.

Heavily progressive income tax makes it harder for individuals to accumulate capital for enterprenial endeavours, be it their own or investing in others'. This limits early stage investments and growth.

Also, there are limited incentives in investing in careers and productivity as net income is surprisingly similar in lowest 10% and highest 10% income earners.

Indirect TPMS does not need radio transmitters like this on the wheels.

This feels like the working with SVN/P4 again.

Main difference here is having your work in progress visible to others in a feature branch. Also rebase -i being less of a pain than svn update.

What do you need twilio, raspi and asterisk for?

You just need an ATA and a sip account like callcentric.

That does not look like a quine to me.

Does Consistency in Cassandra require client clocks to be in perfect sync?

Y u no vector clocks?

TL;DR Disappointed to see Cassandra does not have Amazon Dynamo like eventual consistency. Or even acknowledge any lack thereof.

sounds like n900fly, right?

Doesn't work very well when the number has thousands separated with a space.

I Second that. Extremely easy to set up and comes with quite reasonable default configuration.

How about automatically created anonymous user accounts and ability to later merge into a regular user account with username and password.

An anonymous account would essentially identify a single browser and enable server side storage required for full application functionality.

Should the user later feel like the registration is worth the trouble after all, he could merge one or multiple anonymous accounts into a single regular account.

One thing to think about in advance could be to prepare for merging data from multiple accounts.

I think Amazon shopping cart did something along these lines?
